I’m a young person hoping to raise children some day and to cancel climate change initiatives without any alternative plans to address one of the biggest issues of our lifetime makes me fear for my own and future generations. It’s time to put the left-right binary and ideologies aside and look at the science on climate change - it’s real and, whether or not it’s human-caused, there is significant intervention needed to protect our quality of life, the people and the economy that Doug Ford and those working against climate change initiatives claim to be looking out for. The economic benefit of a clean economy makes it an easy financial decision and to ignore that is short sighted. Guaranteed that before too long our inaction and this proposed backward action on climate change will be thought of as criminal if not in a legal sense in a moral and humanitarian sense and we will be a disgrace to our current and future children.

I want a real climate change plan to reduce emissions, help people save energy and create jobs in the $26 trillion clean economy.
I want Ontario to put a price on pollution, making polluters pay for their emissions and returning the revenues to the pockets of Ontarians so they can lower their carbon footprint.
I want legally binding emissions targets in line with our obligations to the Paris Climate Agreement.
I want Ontario to be 100% powered by clean energy by 2050
I want Ontario to end subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and redirect this money to clean energy solutions
